Description
Summary:This guide is intended for use in teaching a course in human and product transportation systems. The purpose of the course is twofold. First, students are introduced to the design process and the steps used to analyze various solutions to basic problems. Second, the course focuses on the application of the design and evaluation process to review a given problem in the transportation industry. The first two sections discuss the guide's development within the framework of North Carolina's efforts to improve technological literacy and the guide's place as part of an instructional system. An outline of the major topics addressed during the course is presented. The remainder of the guide consists of learning modules on the following topics: analyzing transportation systems, using the design and evaluation process, identifying transportation problems, defining transportation problems, developing possible solutions, selecting an appropriate solution, testing possible solutions, evaluating solutions, implementing solutions on both a small and large scale, and presenting solutions. Each module includes information about the length of time needed to complete the module, an introduction to the instructional content to be covered in class, performance objectives, a day-by-day outline of student learning activities, related diagrams and drawings, and lists of suggested textbooks and references.
